Kegs at a wedding, cost thing or preference?
10 Jan 2010
I am not asking this to be snarky, I am genuinely curious. I notice alot of mentioning of kegs at wedding and I am wondering how does that work? Do you have guests help themselves and pump the keg? Or do you have a bartender dole them out? It seems like a lot of work to put a bartender through, I mean draft beer is not nearly as fast as bottled. Is it a cost thing or do you prefer draft beer?
I think it’s definitely a cost thing. Keg beer is cheaper than bottled beer. I would have a bartender serve it unless your wedding is a very casual outdoor wedding where guests would help themselves to drinks. You don’t need to pump the keg after every serving and I think the more it’s flowing, the less pumping you have to do. It’s probably no more work than a bartender having to remove bottle caps off of the bottles.
